Wuhu Wanli Airport (IATA: WHU, ICAO: ZSWU), often called Wuhu Air Base, is a Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) air base in Wuhu, Anhui Province, China.
[1][2] Wuhu Airbase was originally constructed in 1934 in response to Imperial Japanese aggressions and ambitions in the mainland of China, and was a staging location for the Republic-era Chinese Air Force to launch air strikes and combat air patrols against Japanese incursions and positions during first battles of World War II in Asia; the Battle of Shanghai, Battle of Taiyuan and the Battle of Nanjing.
In 2019, the base prepared for the 9th Fighter Brigade's adoption of the Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter, constructing 26 new hangars.
[3] Wuhu Air Base also hosts PLAAF's No.
